The annual regatta of the Crescent Athletic 
Club will be sailed this afternoon on Gravesend 
Bay. Next Wednesday the race for the F. M.

thian cup will be sailed this afternoon on the

Four 15-footers one-designs are being built at 
Jacob’s Yard at City Island for members of the 
Manhasset Bay Y. C. These are from designs 
by Henry J. Gielow and will race next year. In 
model they are similar to Nereid, but are a little 
longer and have a little more sail. 
* * * 
d here is talk of a class of 18-footers to race 
down the bay next season. Several yachtsmen 
are interested in the class and it is probable that 
something will be done very soon. A class of 
]8-footers will do much to help Gravesend Bay 
racing next season.

The tournament of the Aberdeen, Md., Gun Club, 
Sept. commonly known as Lester German’s chicken 
and corn tournament, is in the nature of an extremely 
serious proposition for the management to assume, in- 
asmuca as Maryland broilers and shoepeg corn are prom¬ 
ised, of quality to please the most fastidious palate, and 
of quantity to fill the most capacious waistband, all free 
of charge. However, Mr. German’s standards of cuisine 
are based cn practical knowledge, as he is something of 
a shooter himself, hence to dispel any possible appre¬ 
hension, he sets forth in the programme as follows- 
“Ore hundred broilers have been staked out, and an 
option on 1,000 acres of shoepeg corn secured, so as to 
avoid a shortage.” All that is exacted to qualify for 
chicken and corn is that the candidate shoot in at least 
one programme event. Ten dollars in gold will be 
awarded to the person making high average on corn; 
no entry fee. The rules governing the gustful function 
will be displayed prominently in the lunch tent. This 
should be a handicap event for obvious reasons, as to 
time, gauge and quality. Class shooting, four moneys, 
will govern the purses. Loaded shells for sale on the 
grounds. The handicap committee has the following ex¬ 
cellent membership: "Joe” Hunter, Washington, D. C.; 
G. H. Gent, Baltimore; W. M. Foord, Wilmington; J. A.’ 
McKelvey, Hockessin, Del. How to reach Aberdeen via 
P. R. R.: From Philadelphia—7:20 and 8:47 A. M., reach 
Aberdeen at 9:15 and 11:07. From Washington, 6:55 
and 7:40; Baltimore, 7:55 and 9:20, reaches Aberdeen at 
S.oT and 10:22. Ship guns, etc., prepaid, to Lester S.- 
German, Aberdeen.
